I decided to leave and go to California, so I packed up mySalvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists tryingto make a circle on an EtchaSketch, and I headed for thehighway and began hitching. Within three minutes I got pickedup by one of those huge trailer trucks carrying 20 brand newcars. I climbed up the side of the cab and opened the door.The guy said, I don't have much room up here, why don't you getinto one of the cars out back. So I did. And he was reallyinto picking people up because he picked up 19 more. We all hadour own cars. Then he went 90 miles per hour and we all gotspeeding tickets.

There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being his jail-keeper.

The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.

Logan Pearsall Smith

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Vincent Van Gogh

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.

Mae West

Intense, unexpected suffering passes more quickly than suffering that is apparently bearable; the latter goes on for years and, without our noticing, eats away at our souls, until, one day, we are no longer able to free ourselves from the bitterness and it stays with us for the rest of our lives.

Paulo Coelho

Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook, but John is a really great one. Literally, I never cook. The whole time we were dating, I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again.

Rebecca Romijn

From sixteen to twenty, all women, kept in humor by their hopes and by their attractions, appear to be good-natured.

Samuel Richardson

Sin is whatever obscures the soul.

Andre Gide

Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meaning can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. Such is the moment I am presently experiencing. I experience this high and joyous moment not for myself alone but for those devotees of nonviolence who have moved so courageously against the ramparts of racial injustice and who in the process have acquired a new estimate of their own human worth. Many of them are young and cultured. Others are middle aged and middle class. The majority are poor and untutored. But they are all united in the quiet conviction that it is better to suffer in dignity than to accept segregation in humiliation. These are the real heroes of the freedom struggle: they are the noble people for whom I accept the Nobel Peace Prize.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

But time growing old teaches all things.

Aeschylus

I warn you against believing that advertising is a science.
